Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed
KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in
parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source
code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled
or not.
By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of
times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of
the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra
care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k)
option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled.
Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will
result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests
which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file.
Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as
previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely
needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the
result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process.
New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test
source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of
the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see
config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy
ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases
but it's use is not encouraged.

Provide infrastructure to auto-configure to enum and API changes in the
global page stats used for our free memory calculations.
arc_free_memory has been broken since an API change in Linux v3.14:
2016-07-28 v4.8 599d0c95 mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
2016-07-28 v4.8 75ef7184 mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node
vmstats
These commits moved some of global_page_state() into
global_node_page_state(). The API change was particularly egregious as,
instead of breaking the old code, it silently did the wrong thing and we
continued using global_page_state() where we should have been using
global_node_page_state(), thus indexing into the wrong array via
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE et al.
There have been further API changes along the way:
2017-07-06 v4.13 385386cf mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
node counters
2017-09-06 v4.14 c41f012a mm: rename global_page_state to
global_zone_page_state
...and various (incomplete, as it turns out) attempts to accomodate
these changes in ZoL:
2017-08-24 2209e409 Linux 4.8+ compatibility fix for vm stats
2017-09-16 787acae0 Linux 3.14 compat: IO acct, global_page_state, etc
2017-09-19 661907e6 Linux 4.14 compat: IO acct, global_page_state, etc
The config infrastructure provided here resolves these issues going back
to the original API change in v3.14 and is robust against further Linux
changes in this area.
